Jim Fainter Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Not much new to say about this kid, other than DON"T trade him. One stat that might have been overlooked is Stolen Bases. At W/S he was was 27 out of 33; at B-ham he is 6 out of 8. His average is up to an insane .463. Everytime he gets promoted, his stats get better.

Cerbaho-WG Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 And to think, every so-called "draft expert" thought the Sox were idiots for selecting this guy in the 2nd round. What a steal, and if he develops some power, look out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Fainter Posted June 30, 2003 Author Share Posted June 30, 2003 Cerb, I did not know that. You say the Sox were criticized for drafting Reed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Cerb, I did not know that. You say the Sox were criticized for drafting Reed? I think he was considered a "fringe" 2nd rounder. Is that accurate Cerb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MnSoxFan Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Yes, we were told that he was a real 'stretch' in 2nd round. Best outlook for him at that time was a possible 4th outfielder, no arm, decent speed, only thing he did that anyone liked was led a team in hitting in Pan-am games with a wood bat. His last year in college his average really went down, to about .338 or something. So he was projected at 'best' a top 5 round draftee, round 3-5 being his best outlook.

I think Reed has the skills and additude to propel him far in this bussiness... his agent must be gooing in his jockey's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a steal in the 2nd rounder to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
